Yeah you’re probably right on Bramble I was a bit harsh there. He can be something if he works hard on his flaws and improves all round. But he has had 2 years at Hawthorn and all season with us now, compared with 4 games for Cleary who has looked well balanced each time he gets a game. And...

Play him and we will find out? You win flags with some C graders. Maybe even D graders? But Bramble and VDM are E graders so we are along way from a flag with those blokes.

I love Bevo and love him to coach us into the future. But he is well and truly human and has many faults. But a particular fault called pride/stubbornness/inflexibility will stop him from improving on those other faults. One glaring one and I believe his main one, is his favouritism of certain...

Most clubs I’d agree with you. But Bevo is stubborn to the point it hurts himself and his team with team selection and has been since 2017. Cleary has well and truly deserved a good longish go at it in the seniors. Last year he played a good game in Ballarat and went straight out. The year...

I really think Bevo’s main weakness is selection. I get tactics and changes influence the match and apparently he is a very good motivator. But as much as I’d like to see Buku succeed, and is young and full of ‘potential’, on Thursday night when I seen Keath’s name I thought good, here is a...

Could see this in the very few games he had in 2022 and 2023. Way more potential upside than Poulter and Baker and Scott. Play the kid, looks a natural footballer.

It’s one of many reasons why there should be 3 football experts on the board. That is the core reason for the clubs existence, yet there is such lack of real football knowledge and wisdom on our board. When Hawthorn had Dermott and Dunstall on their board it turned out pretty good for them...

West comes in for Vandermeer. Probably Bendendo. Maybe then Sanders, who hasn’t really had a good run at it yet, but seems to offer more than him too.

Not necessarily, but all those guys have actually had good games before. Especially Kharmis and JUH, but VDM hasn’t had a good game since 2020. He is consistent, that is for sure. It was a week for 5 changes, not just 4. Even Taylor Dureay was lucky to survive, but he has so many credits in the...

That was the worst two goal game I’ve ever seen. Vandermeer was horrible but for those two goals last week. He has also been next to horrible each week, with a couple of ok mediocre games. For some reason Bevo sees something will improve in his or he thinks because he can run fast that that...

Sanders for Vanders bumper stickers needed.

Which just wastes the rest of this year. He is ‘dead man walking’ now. We are just wasting everyone’s (players, supporters, coaches) time. If the board doesn’t have a vision beyond Bevo they’re being incompetent. That vision needs to start being implemented now, because if we wait to the end of...

To become a head coach of a professional football club you’ve already had some degree of success. As in professional sports as a player, anything is a bonus and you have to be realistic about your position in the organisation, no matter how successful you’ve been in the past. As an organisation...

For years I’ve been advocating that we went after Callan Ward. Everyone said he was finished, but he just kept going. He would’ve been great in 2021,22,23. I see yesterday the Crows are going after Danger, smart move but probably won’t get him out of Moggs Creek. We know the next club up the...

To put Harmes and VDM in the same sentence is a total disrespect for James Harmes. He is a premiership player, and played his role well in that flag year. I also thought he played pretty good on Sunday arvo. He has ‘made it’ as a footballer. I don’t know whether VDM ever will? He has managed to...

Buckley as caretaker for rest of season, starting at 7:00 pm tonight. And I don’t know who of the promising assistants out there. But one who is articulate and has the ability to cope with the inevitable pressure.

I He really didn’t respond on a macro level either when the league changed the rules a few times. Totally last coach to get ‘no third man up’ and the ‘stand’ rules. He is just so set on things, extremely obstinate and slow.

Don’t keep playing the same average players if they aren’t contributing.

But why do those who don’t contribute get picked week in week out? They really are no good I agree, give some lads in the reserves a crack. Cleary always does well when he gets a game, and there is a few new recruits knocking the door down too.

This is Shakespearean then, human ego getting in the way of doing the right thing, the correct thing for our club. Eat some humble pie board members. You’ve already had two major fails, signing him for 2 years when it wasn’t necessary, then not sacking him after last years West Coast Eagles...

Bont nearly dragged the team over the line himself in that last quarter. Shame he wasn’t on the field that much. Adam Treloars game was good, as always. Naughts and Jones very good too tonight. Bailey Dale and Harmes were brave runners all night. Red and Garcia had their moments of good and...

100%.

One of the worst offield games I’ve ever witnessed from the footy club. Imagine having Bont on the bench for 7 minutes in the final term. He has all week to rest up. The rest of us are going to work tomorrow. Imagine having VDM in the team? And Gallagher too, he’s had a good run should have...

Vandermeerr had no idea how to go for that mark. FDFL level rubbish.

Why sub a first gamer that is offering nothing when Gallagher and Vandermeer were also offering nothing, sub them.

No faith whatsoever.

Well done Harmes and Dale, they’re both trying hard.

Apparently Bevo is a good motivator? But after that wears off tactics are pretty useful too.

We need a sarcasm icon.

Naughton and JUH flying again together with about two minutes to go. This is dumb football. Naughton looked great when JUH was out. But good coaching would work this out.
